This store has absolutely beautiful clothing. However, you have to be very careful as the sales…read morestaff will happily sell you things that don't fit properly, and they won't be candid about how an item looks on you. Sure, their job is to sell, but the goal should be customer retention. I won't be going back, as the last item I bought was really too big for me, and I didn't realize it until after I'd taken the tags off. I don't mind having the odd alteration done, but since that was the fourth time in two years I've been horribly disappointed after the fact, I'll stick to shopping in my favourite stores in Victoria and Vancouver from now on, where the staff know me and always steer me in the right direction.

I was looking for a local dyer/spinner/artisan for Souvenir Yarn, and the staff member was able to point me in the direction of one. She actually didn't even come out from behind the desk, which in a small store where I was the only customer, actually was fine. If there had been more than just me in the store, this would have felt dismissive. The organization was a bit haphazard in my opinion; the dyer I was looking at was placed at various places around the store, I think depending on weight or perhaps fibre type. I'm not sure. But in the end I found something I liked, the staff member was helpful recommending patterns and telling me about the sample garments I was admiring. Then we had a funny chat about their logo/mascot. They had a name contest and I think the character was eventually named Gordon "Ram"sey.
